The main purpose of this paper is to present new families of test statistics for studying the problem of goodness-of-fit of some data to a latent class model for binary data. The families of test statistics introduced are based on…
Two new expansions for partial sums of Gauss' triangular and square numbers series are given. As a consequence, we derive a family of inequalities for the overpartition function $\bar{p}(n)$ and for the partition function $p_1(n)$ counting…
Scattered sequences are a generalization of scattered polynomials. So far, only scattered sequences of order one and two have been constructed. In this paper an infinite family of scattered sequences of order three is obtained. Equivalence…
Using the notion of generalized weight we improve estimates on the parameters of quantum codes obtained by Steane's construction from binary codes. This yields several new families of quantum codes.
Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be randomly chosen subsets of the first $n$ integers of cardinalities $s_2\geq s_1 = \Omega(s_2)$, such that their sumset $A_1+A_2$ has size $m$. We show that asymptotically almost surely $A_1$ and $A_2$ are almost fully…
In this paper, we continue our investigation of double sums where the inner sum is binomial but incomplete. We prove many new results for these types of double sums associated with binomial transform pairs. As applications we deduce new…

We show that essentially the Fibonacci sequence is the unique binary recurrence which contains infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions. A criterion for general linear recurrences having infinitely many three-term arithmetic…
Fibonacci sequence, generated by summing the preceding two terms, is a classical sequence renowned for its elegant properties. In this paper, leveraging properties of generalized Fibonacci sequences and formulas for consecutive sums of…
We investigate the number of squares in a very broad family of binary recurrence sequences with $u_{0}=1$. We show that there are at most two distinct squares in such sequences (the best possible result), except under such very special…
We describe two general mechanisms for producing pairing bijections (bijective functions defined from N x N to N). The first mechanism, using n-adic valuations results in parameterized algorithms generating a countable family of distinct…
In this short note, we show a simple characterization of integers that reach records for a sequence described by adding binary strings to runs of 1's and 0's in a binary representation. In particular, we show that this set does not depend…
A classical theorem of Kempner states that the sum of the reciprocals of positive integers with missing decimal digits converges. This result is extended to much larger families of "missing digits" sets of positive integers with convergent…
Sequence of positive integers $\{x_n\}_{n\geq1}$ is called similar to $\mathbb {N}$ respectively a given property $A$ if for every $n\geq1$ the numbers $x_n$ and $n$ are in the same class of equivalence respectively $A\enskip(x_n\sim n…
A correlation is a binary vector that encodes all possible positions of overlaps of two words, where an overlap for an ordered pair of words (u,v) occurs if a suffix of word u matches a prefix of word v. As multiple pairs can have the same…
We count the number of subsets of $\{1,2,\cdots,n\}$ under different conditions and study the sequence obtained as we let $n$ increase.
We study divisibility properties of certain sums and alternating sums involving binomial coefficients and powers of integers. For example, we prove that for all positive integers $n_1,..., n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and any nonnegative integer…
A complementary Gray code for binary n-tuples is one that, when all the tuples are complemented, is identical to itself; this is equivalent to the complement of the first half of the code being identical to the second half. We generalize…
In this paper, we explore a variety of series involving the central binomial coefficients, highlighting their structural properties and connections to other mathematical objects. Specifically, we derive new closed-form representations and…
Let $\{u_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant. In this paper, we consider the Diophantine equation $u_m + u_n = a_1 n_1! + \cdots + a_k n_k!$ and prove that there are only finitely many…
